    Picked up 96 F250 5 Speed.

    So in my quest to obtain a 5 speed swap for my 93' F350 IDI I came across this truck. It was priced similar to what I am seeing a ZF-5 go for by itself. The good. Well it's 4wd. Seems completeish. (More on that in a bit) 7.3 Powerstroke that does turn over. New IDM. (Previous owner installed...

    95 F350 Frame Swap to 96 F-Superduty.

    I guess I am starting a build thread. Backstory. About 7 weeks ago I picked up a 95 F350 Dump truck. Had some squirrel damage under the hood and after fixing some wiring and replacing the IDM I got it running. Immediately after that I had battery cable issues causing a no crank condition...

    PSA. Fuel Injector.

    Just an FYI. I am vouching for the quality of these injectors as I do not know, but I did purchase 4 brand new injectors for my skid steer from these guys, saved about 50% ($1400) over what Case was asking for rebuilt units. Link. A Code Injectors.

    7.3 IDM

    Looking for a good 7.3 IDM. Not willing to pay rebuilt prices which is what all the used ones I am coming across are asking these days. Just get a rebuilt one instead. But I'm being cheap as I am looking for a spare.

    1995 OBS Powerstroke need scanner that works.

    Okay so yesterday I picked up a 1995 F350 dump truck with the 7.3. Right hand cylinder bank will fire left will not. Looks like a squirrel got in there and ate some wiring on the injector harness. So most likely once I fix that it'll run on all 8. But that got me thinking about what I can scan...

    Tach issue help

    Okay to cut to the chase. I have used 2 different tach sensors, my old one and a brand new one, and get the same results. Description of the problem, when cold, my tach does not work. The transmission (E4OD) stays in "what the hell" mode and I have to manually shift it down to 1st every time I...

    Howdy Y'all. Been a minute. This followed me home.

    Well I got stupid busy with the new job and have been on a hiatus. Hope everyone is still burning oil. Speaking of burning oil, this followed me home. Cheap and Smokey. There is a good chance it was the cheapest of it's kind. I think the issue is "Wet Stacking" but am not sure how much...

    FIPL Smokeshow

    Okay on a road trip. In the SLC area and trans is shifting way, way too early. This in turn creates a ridiculous Smokeshow. Plus I've acquired a 6x10 enclosed trailer and another motorcycle on this trip and the early shifting is causing stupid high EGT's when I lose boost due to the untimely...

    Hey ya'll take a look at this. Rally related.

    So just trying to raise awareness, and get people who may not know about it because they don't check the events and get togethers forum, about a potential Rally for 2022. Long way off I know but this one will take some planning. Biggest part right now is gauging interest to determine the...

    BOOB power tour

    So I've had an idea about a traveling BOOB camping/roadtrip to allow us to reach a further rally destination as a group. The title of this thread was stolen from @laserjock summation of my idea. Seems the most fitting/accurate. I was looking at the 2020 rally thread and one of the suggestions...

    OBS dash removal questions.

    I searched a bunch, read a lot and watched numerous videos and well I still got questions. I've got to pull, repair and re-install my dash before the rally. Due to the situation I'm in I have to do it without removing the big aluminum column support. I'm not on flat ground and need the Ebrake...

    Hydroboost 2019

    Man I've been here long enough to search for stuff so if I missed something here feel free to point me in the right direction. I've finally decided to start collecting parts for a hydroboost conversion. Seems my vacuum system only works when it's warm out, maybe. Tired of guessing whether or...

    New Vacuum Pump Issue

    The 2nd week of November I put a brand new vacuum pump on my truck. It's a Standard Motor Products VCP105. Well it's just started blowing oil all over the place. I'm expecting I'll just warranty it but before I do was curious, as I haven't opened one up, would it just be a torn diaphragm?

    Getting back on the 6.9 horse.

    So almost 10 years ago I decided I would build a hi-po 6.9. I had picked up 2 6.9's with bad head gaskets locally for a song. They even came with a complete gasket kit and an IP of unknown condition. In 2008 there weren't a lot of proven high HP IDI's out there. I'm thinking there was a Dave S...

    Drum brakes dragging need help. Stuck on road.

    So the excitement of the Moose install was almost immediately squashed but my rear brakes dragging. Stopped at a light and saw the smike rolling off the rears. Truck was feeling a little sluggish and temps were high. Coolabr, trans and EGT. I was thinking maybe the moose is just too much fuel...

    Stoptech slotted rotors and EBC yellow pads.

    Curious if anyone has any experience with this combination of brake parts together or individually. Looking to replace my front pads and rotors soon and these seem to be a possible solution but they're pricey and I was hoping maybe some of you might have some feedback on them. TIA.

    Ac compressor. Which oil?

    So I did try using the search but it came up with every thread that has the word oil in it. Got a new AC compressor for a 93'. Originally this was an r12 system but I converted it to 134a the first time I fixed the ac system 11 years ago. New compressor has 3 oz of oil in it. I need to add 4...

    Change thread titles

    I have searched the entire forum for this information so forgive me if it's posted somewhere but is it possible to change our own thread titles and if so how is it done? Thanks.

    Tire options 2018

    Okay so as the title indicates looking for current tire options. I realize this a tediuos question and rather newbie in context but I've been out of the loop. Last new truck tires I bought were in 2011. So currently I'm running the Nitto Terra Grappler in 315-75/16. They've been on the truck...

    Big Ugly goes to rehab

    Hey guys/gals it's been a really long time since I've been on here but due to some really strange circumstances I now have my 93' F350 back. Did a little looking around and see some familiar names in here. Good to see ya'll are still here. The short long story is that in early 2012 my now ex...

    Hello All. Been a While. A/C Question.

    Well for reasons related to the big "D" I haven't been on here for a while. Unfortunately I will be losing the IDI in the divorce. Not to worry I still have 2 6.9's I'm slowly assembling and will eventually find something to put one in. On with my question. Last weekend I drove the IDI for a...

    Battery Light on. Batteries and Alt test good.

    Truck in question is a 2006 F250 King Ranch. So about 2 months ago my battery light came on while driving one day. It didn't stay on long but I knew it was the start of some issue. I have been closely monitoring my voltage at the ECU since about 2 weeks after that first sign as it kept...

    Good times with an old friend

    Sadly I have not been using the IDI to tow with since I bought the 06'. It has been primarily a farm truck for the last 2 years and since the last time I got up hay with it (about a year ago) I have been worried that the E4OD was getting too slippery to put a load behind it. Since I use it...
